Microsoft E-Mail Carries Malware

Quote: Threats remain easy to spot, but experts warn that this latest malware assault uses the latest advances in criminal technology. Quote: Security experts are warning of deceptive e-mails that claim that Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Outlook needs an update. "The e-mail claims that you have a new message in Microsoft Outlook, but you need to reconfigure your settings (by clicking on the helpful link) in order to read it. Of course, the e-mail is bogus and you're actually in danger of handing over details of your email settings to internet hackers," Graham Cluley, Sophos security expert, wrote in his blog.
